Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

repo-deps

v1.1.6

Published

a high-level CLI tool to grab many dependencies from GitHub repos

Readme

repo-deps

unstable

screen

A high-level CLI tool to grab dependencies from a set of GitHub repos. Prints JSON to stdout, but can also print list format with the --pretty flag.

For a lower level API, see gh-repo-dependencies.

Install

npm install repo-deps -g

Examples

The first time you run the tool, it will prompt for your GitHub username and password. You can disable this with --no-auth flag.

Examples:

repo-deps mattdesl/marvel-comics-api --pretty --filter=dependencies

Or, compiling a list from many repos (de-duplicated and sorted) and printing the registry data to JSON:

repo-deps mattdesl/marvel-comics-api Jam3/gh-api-stream > data.json

You can use the --raw flag if you want raw reigstry data (all versions).

Usage

NPM

Usage:
  repo-deps repositories [opt]

Options:
  --raw, -r      raw registry JSON
  --pretty, -p   pretty print the results
  --filter, -f   filter to "dependencies" or "devDependencies"
  --no-auth      do not try to authorize GitHub API

Repo names are simple URLs like "user/repo" or a fully qualified "git://" URL. See here for supported formats.

You can append a ref (commit SHA or branch name) to the name like so:

repo-deps mattdesl/budo#next stackgl/glslify --pretty

Note: Packages that do not have an associated npm module (eg: private GitHub dependencies) will be left out of the results, unless raw is specified in which case the package.stats field for that package will be null.
